Ma🍸verick Vinales has been the man making all the headlines during this weekend’s Dutch MotoGP. 

On-track, Vi🍌nales was extremely quick as he concluded a weekend that saw𝓀 him finish five sessions fastest with a second place during today’s race. 

While off-track, rumours of a move to Aprilia next season - which would mean breaking the two-year agreement with Yamaha, are believed to not only be real, but a foregone conclusion with an imminent announcem🔜en🧸t expected. 

During the post-race press conference, Vinales gave little away when asked ab꧒out Aprilia, however, the Spaniard didn’t squash the news either and instead said his current situation with Yamaha has become a ‘nightmare’.  

"I think, for sure the benefit… It’s difficult to have benefit in a situation like this. I just get diffiꦬculties,"&♋nbsp;added Vinales. 

"Somehow I start to feel when I come to race that it starts to be a nightmare. I have for three yea🍨rs the same comments. 

"I just want to🐻 take out t💛he maximum, I just want to come racing to really race and give everything I have. 

"Right now it’s difficult. When I come 💞racing I just think what problem am I going to have this race? This is a problem." 

Vinale𒁃s was the pre-race favorite along with team-mate Fabio Quartararo who went on to win. 

After losing three places at the start, Vinales encountered the same issues of not being able to over💟take that have plagued his time with Yamaha, which left him with a four second gap to Quartararo when he eventually got to second place - helped by Francesco Bagnaia’s long-lap penalty. 

Vinales said this about the persistent overtaking issues: "Yeah with our bike it’s so complicated to overtake. I just found▨ myse💫lf behind Nakagami and was impossible.

"I don’t know! I don’♒t know what more to do; outside, inside... I didn’t find the way to overtakꦅe until he lose the traction. 

"As soon as he lose the traction for me it was 🎃easy to overtake. T🦹hen, I tried to put a good rhythm. 

"F🌱or sure I destroy the tyres a lot behind him, because sometimes you overheat the tyre, but I understand really well that when I get stuck there and I see Fabio [Quartararo] first, that this race is❀ going to be very difficult. 

"However, at the end of the race we were fast an𒅌d this is the most importanꦚt. We’ve been on the podium and yeah, I’m happy."
